Marine Biochem Research

State-of-the-art coral research at arizona state university

Biochemistry perspective to study the impacts of environmental change on marine organisms involved in symbiotic relationship with microscopic endosymbiotic algae such as corals, giant clams, anemones and upside-down jellyfish from a variety marine ecosystems.

OBJECTIVES

Fundamental Understanding of Physiological stress in Reef-building corals & other Symbiotic organisms
Solution-oriented research to make Corals more resistant to environmental stress
Open & Transparent Research with an emphasis on Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

By integrating recent advances in cellular-level coral research with nanobiotechnology, the team’s research seeks to close the gap in the understanding of molecular, cellular and microenvironmental dynamics of coral bleaching.
